Nightwatcher

At the bottom of Haoqi Building, Xu Qi'an looked up at the tall building, the corners of the eaves were flying up, layer upon layer, like a pagoda.

Starting from the second floor, each floor has a corridor for viewing. At this time, the spring is just right, and the view from the seventh floor is picturesque.

He didn't go upstairs immediately, he was in a daze for a long time, and then he pressed the sable hat, looked at the guard with no expression, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me."

After the guard went downstairs to reply, Xu Qi'an went upstairs very quickly, and the officials he met along the way all bowed and saluted, he just nodded and hummed.

Entering the tea room, stepping on the soft mat made of reed poles, Xu Qi'an came to sit cross-legged at the coffee table. There was already a cup of hot tea in front of him, and Wei Yuan who was reading a book with a calm face.

"Duke Wei, I have something to report in my humble position."

"explain."

"There is a reason why humble officials intervene in the struggle between man and nature"

Immediately, tell Wei Yuan about Taoist Master Jinlian's entrustment and Qingdan's remuneration.

Wei Yuan nodded slowly, his face softened a little, and said, "I guessed it."

Xu Qi'an immediately put on an attitude of listening attentively: "The lowliness is so reckless, it will definitely make the loyal people in the court bear grudges."

He came to Wei Yuan to inquire about the history of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, but that would seem to treat the superior as a tool, which is not what a smart subordinate should do.

To change the order, Xu Qi'an came to Haoqi Building this time to report something, and the inquiry was just incidental.

"Not at all."

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Although you delayed the dispute between heaven and man, you did not stop it. Those who want to see Luo Yuheng die are at most annoyed at you."

Then Wei Gong, will you be angry with me? Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Thanks to the medicinal power of Qingdan, the humble Vajra magic is already a small achievement."

Wei Yuan was not surprised by this, and simply said "Mmm".

Xu Qi'an waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't speak, he said immediately: "I want to know how to cultivate five-grade strength?"

Wei Yuan put down the scroll, took a sip from his teacup, sat upright, and looked at Xu Qi'an: "First of all, you need to understand what Huajin is. Well, punch to the left."

Xu Qi'an didn't understand his intention, followed the instruction, made a fist and hit to the left.

Wei Yuan grabbed the scroll, patted his shoulder and forearm, and said with a smile, "There is obvious trembling here."

"This is essential." Xu Qi'an replied.

You are an ancient person, so I won’t tell you about the high-level knowledge that the effect of force is mutual.

When punching, no matter whether you hit the target or not, the arm has the strength to walk through, which will naturally bring about tremors in the shoulders and flesh.

If there is an object hit, the arm will also experience a reaction force.

"There will be no tremors in Huajin. A warrior of this realm can perfectly control his own power without wasting a single bit."

Wei Yuan picked up the scroll again, and said calmly: "Why are the major systems afraid of martial arts close by? They are afraid of martial arts of the fifth rank and above. They are afraid of martial arts with energy, understand."

Can a powerful martial artist take away any system? But, but this does not conform to the theorem of mechanics Wait, I remembered that Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong once fought in the fighting arena in the yamen in order to fight for my blue beauty.

Xu Qi'an remembered that battle, the battle between the two golden gongs had no backswing at all, no reaction force, which seriously violated the laws of mechanics. He was still amazed at the time, and secretly guessed which rank of the martial arts system brought the magic.

Now I understand, it is five-grade energy.

"You have reached this stage, so I will tell you some knowledge about the martial arts system." Wei Yuan said while reading a book:

"Before the fifth rank, talent only accounted for 30%, hard work accounted for 30%, and resources accounted for 40%. After the fifth rank, talent accounted for 60%, hard work accounted for 20%, and resources accounted for 20%."

"Why?" Xu Qi'an was puzzled.

"If you want to control every ounce of your own power, it depends on the understanding of the warrior. Foreign things can't play a role. In Dagengren's Yamen, there is only one article "Xingmai Lun" that can help you by analogy, but can you succeed in cultivation? Turning into strength still depends on the individual.

"Before the fifth rank, as long as you have skills, resources, and talents, you can achieve them. As long as the sixth rank is plentiful, when you reach the fifth rank, the number begins to decrease. When you reach the third rank, there is only one Zhenbei King." Wei Yuan said.

In the Dafeng court, there was only Xu Qi'an, king of Zhenbei, who keenly grasped the meaning of Wei Yuan's words, and asked, "Are there still three grades in the Jianghu?"

"There are many kings in the deep water, don't underestimate the reckless heroes." Wei Yuan smiled, "But the number is also rare, and they are more disciplined. The court's attitude towards them is to appease them and allow them to become heroes. If you have the opportunity, you can Let's take a trip to Jianzhou, the most prosperous place in Dafeng Martial Arts."

No wonder Wei Yuan always wanted me to go to Jianghu, Jianghu seems to be very interesting, Xu Qi'an stopped his thoughts and asked casually:

"Wei Gong, I have recently read history in a humble position"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Yuan's mocking tone interrupted: "You still read history books?"

I felt the contempt of the self-student Xu Qi'an forced a smile: "The humble job still reads occasionally, after all, he is considered half a scholar."

I think he was also a hero who was killed out of the nine-year compulsory education back then, but the older he got, the less interested he was in books.

Seeing that Wei Yuan didn't refute, Xu Qi'an went straight to the point, curiously said: "I found out that apart from the "Jia Zi Smash the Monster" between Buddhism and the Wan Yao Kingdom, the Battle of Shanhaiguan was a rare large-scale war in the history of Kyushu.

"Why did this war start? There are no details in the history books. Thinking of the humble position, Wei Gong, you were the commander of the five armies back then, so you must be clear about this."

Wei Yuan pondered for a long time, as if he was recalling, his eyes revealed the vicissitudes of life, and said slowly:

"In the 13th year of Yuanjing, the southern barbarians, led by the Gu tribe, suddenly attacked the southern border of Dafeng, conquered the city, and spread poison for hundreds of miles. After the imperial court received the report from the pond, they immediately organized troops to drive south to expel the barbarians.

"As a result, in August of the same year, the northern barbarians and the demon clan joined forces to organize 200,000 cavalry and demon soldiers to attack Dafeng in the south like a lion fighting a rabbit.

"Dafeng suffered from the enemy, and after a year of war, in the 14th year of Yuanjing, he gave up the territory of the two states in the northwest and concentrated on fighting the barbarians in the south.

"In the autumn of the same year, Wan Yao Kingdom occupied those two prefectures and announced the restoration of the country."

Wei Yuan got up, walked to the vertical map, drew a big circle with his finger in the northwest of Dafeng, and said:

"Once Chuzhou and Jingzhou are separated, the northern barbarians, demon tribes, and myriad demon kingdoms will form a triangle. Whether it is going south to fight Dafeng or west to fight Buddha, the three parties can form the closest formation and rush to help each other.

"So, in the 15th year of Yuanjing, the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions came to an end. The situation of the battle was reversed immediately. The Buddha Kingdom and Dafeng joined forces and regained Chuzhou and Jingzhou within three months. Dafeng was able to breathe, and sent more troops to the south to fight The southern barbarians headed by the Gu clan."

Sure enough, in the Battle of Shanhaiguan that year, there were indeed remnants of the Wanyao Kingdom participating. The orphan of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, the princess of the Yaozu, her ultimate goal was to restore the country. The failure of the Battle of Shanhaiguan made her realize that Buddhism is too powerful. In order to restore the country, Buddhism must be weakened. So, she began to plot against the gods under Sangbo?

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly, as long as he figured out the opponent's goal, many things would become more traceable, and he could respond calmly.

Then, he thought of another question. The emergence of Dacheng Buddhism will definitely cause an uproar in the West. The dispute of ideas is inevitable, and the Buddhism will split at that time.

How would that nine-tailed celestial fox feel?

She has worked so hard for hundreds of years, but what she failed to achieve, a small silver gong that was given to her, and a few casual words, split the Buddhist sect

Wei Yuandao: "In the 16th year of Yuanjing, the northern and southern barbarians, the northern demon clan, the remnants of the Wanyao Kingdom, and the Northeast Witch God Sect joined forces at Shanhaiguan. They put all their eggs in one basket and wanted to fight to the death with the Buddhist sects of the Western Regions and Dafeng. All parties invested more than one million troops. The war lasted without sleep for half a year, and finally ended in a disastrous victory for Dafeng and the Buddha Kingdom. It is called in history: the Battle of Mountains and Seas."

"Wei Gong, why did the Sorcerer Sect end so suddenly?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"Naturally, it is profitable. The Witch God Sect has always hated Dafeng. This is related to an old incident when Dafeng was founded." Wei Yuan replied.

I know this, the founding emperor of Dafeng dove the Witch God Sect, and when he needed someone, he ate a small sweet, and when he established the country, he turned his head and called Mrs. Niu, Xu Qi'an, to complain in his heart.

"Wouldn't it be better for the Sorcerer Sect to directly harass Dafeng in the northeast?" Xu Qi'an wondered.

"Even in the most difficult time for the imperial court, they would rather give up the two northern states than relax their deployment to the northeast. If the Witch God Sect attacks the northeast, once the attack fails for a long time, and the battle at Shanhaiguan subsides, Dafeng will have sufficient time and troops Support the Northeast Frontier.

"Instead of this, how about borrowing the route from the northern barbarian and demon tribes to go to Shanhaiguan and win or lose the battle."

Holding the teacup, Xu Qi'an fell into deep thought.

The Battle of Shanhaiguan began with the coalition of northern and southern barbarians, but at the beginning it was the Gu people who led the southern barbarians to attack the border of Dafeng, and then the northern barbarians also went south to attack Dafeng.

It can be seen from here that it was the former leader of the Heavenly Gu Department who mediated and encouraged the Gu clan to start the war.

This is in line with the plan of the two thieves.

Another thief is a warlock, and the warlock system was born out of the wizard system. Back then, the witch gods intervened in the Battle of Shanhaiguan. This mysterious warlock must have fanned the flames and had a catalytic effect.

Xu Qi'an could imagine how the two thieves lobbied all parties, reached an alliance, and provoked this rare large-scale battle in history.

"So the remnants of the Wan Yao Kingdom know that I have luck through the events of the past? No, no, stealing luck is a secret plan of two thieves. Before my luck was awakened, even the prison officer didn't find out about it. How did the princess of the Yaozu discover the luck in my body?

"She must know, otherwise she wouldn't let Monk Shenshu live in my body.

"Ignore this for now, and then set a long-term goal to find out the reason why the mystic warlock steals luck. The leader of the Heavenly Gu Department is to steal luck to suppress the Gu God, and the mystic warlock may have another purpose."

While thinking about it, Wei Yuan asked: "Is there anything else?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head: "Not anymore."

He didn't make up his mind to tell Wei Yuan about his luck. Although Jian Zheng and Daoist Jin Lian knew about it, it was discovered by the two old silver coins themselves.

Xu Qi'an never took the initiative to tell others.

The reason why he didn't tell Wei Yuan was because Xu Qi'an had a layer of concern in his heart. Wei Yuan was a scholar of the state, and in his heart, the Dafeng Dynasty was placed first or second.

Xu Qi'an doesn't think that he has more weight in Wei Yuan's heart than Da Feng, if Wei Yuan knows, the reason for Da Feng's decline in national power is that his luck has been stolen and passed on to himself.

How will Wei Yuan choose?

"He is still my biggest backer, but I can't gamble with my wealth and life." Xu Qi'an thought to himself.

"Think again, is there anything else?" Wei Yuan stared at him.

"No more." Xu Qi'an looked at him and shook his head.

In a dim room, a white hand, holding a brush, wrote a secret letter:

"Honorable Master:

"Recently, a lot of things have happened in Dafeng. With the end of the Jingcha, the party struggle gradually subsided, and Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu began to join hands to rectify the ills of the subordinate staff.

"I learned from the gossip that their next goal is to thoroughly investigate the embezzlement of military fields and reduce taxes. Heh, the two of them can indeed sweep the court together.

"But as long as Emperor Yuan Jing doesn't give up his cultivation, he will be like a bottomless glutton, eating away at the power of the country. The policy of tax reduction and exemption will definitely be hindered.

"Don't worry, in the next ten years, the national power of Dafeng will decline to the bottom. If the Buddha country loses this powerful ally, even if it is strong, it will be difficult to win alone. If there is another mountain and sea battle, we will be the ones who will win.

"By the way, let me tell you a piece of good news. During the battle between Sitianjian and the Buddhist sect, Yingong Xu Qi'an proposed the concept of Mahayana Buddhism, which enlightened Dueruohan. The servant predicts that there may be great turmoil in the West this year. opportunity.

"He is truly a man with stunning talents. His future is boundless. This servant has the guts to ask, what is your plan for him?"

The white hand put down the pen, looked at the secret letter, and remained silent for a long time.

Si Tianjian.

The stone door leading to the underground opened with a rattling sound, and a ninth-rank white man shouted towards the deep underground: "Senior Brother Yang, half a day has passed, you can come out."

A few seconds later, a figure in white walked up backwards, stubbornly pointing the back of his head at the crowd.

"I, Yang Qianhuan, will reappear in the world. No one can suppress me." The figure in white said slowly.

"Yes yes yes" the ninth rank warlock responded casually, reminding:

"Don't do stupid things next time. Teacher Jianzheng said, if you are imitating Xu Qi'an, I will keep you underground, and you will never come out."

Yang Qianhuan snorted: "Yang needs to learn from him? It's just that he did what I wanted to do."

The neuropathy ninth-grade warlock was slandering in his heart.

"Well, during the time I was retreating underground, what happened outside?" Yang Qianhuan stood with his hands behind his back, his tone indifferent.
